I received my LRDG Chevy wheels from Mouse House, so I thought I would let those who may be interested what I think of them.
First, they are very very well cast, they may be a direct copy of the Tamiya part, I don't know. There is the tyre size on the side wall, and the word General. A nice round profile to the tread surface, no flat spot for the weighted look, but as I will be putting mine into the sand, no problem. Two spare tyres too.
The rear hub has a slight air bubble, nothing that can't be fixed in about 30 seconds!! The pouring block? Very hard to find, just a small round dot, that is extremely easy to clean up, meaning you can position the tyre with the lettering in a random place on each wheel, a bonus if you ask me, as my pet peeve is all wheels on a kit with the lettering all in the same position!! These wheels compare favourably to the D-Toys and other brands of wheels I have bought over the years.
To me a solid 9.99 out of 10.....why not a 10/10? Nothing is perfect, but these are darn close!!
In my opinion, well worth the money, buy in confidence!!
Oh, yeah, I have no affiliation with Mouse House at all, just happy with my tyres, and I thought others may want a modellers perspective.

Just enough knowledge to be dangerous, but not enough to help anyone.
